Read the "Asks for us to treat people with mental illness.... " blah at the beginning and decided not to watch.
Dont need people telling me "i'm ill" and need to be "treated a specific way"
If you want to treat me at all, talk to me face to face. Dont hide behind your inability to accept how i view the world and label yourself the moral authority that "saves" people.
People like that are the worst, the "mental health" "proffesionals". These people who go on crusades trying to say how other people should be treated, especially because in this Ted interview persons opinion, in the start in the summary itself, is that its a "mental illness" i'm sure she'll pay some lipservice to it not being that.
But how about she walks into that interview and says "us mentally ill people need to learn how to treat you normals in a specific way because your brains are at the level of primates and you are unable to comprehend the multidimensional nature of reality, let alone the multi density nature of reality and your small mind projects thoughts of inadequacy on your patients and leads them to believe that they are "ill" and you are "healthy" you ****** vampires"
Thats all i'll say about that last part.
If you want something that is not geared towards "oh you be so ill we need to heal you":

At least this has SOME hope of leading you down the right path (and it isnt the one where you think you're sick and need to be treated in a specific way by "others")
I'd say to the woman in the ted link, drop the meds, drop the charade and spend some time alone thinking of what you logically must be, form a theory about it, test that theory by asking for confirmation of it, if confirmation is present, come to a full stop and start from the beginning and analyze the world around you anew from scratch. You made an error somewhere and if you try to hold onto the reality that has that error in it (assumption about your need for others to treat you "in a certain way" for you to "be happy" and "content" with "schizhoprhenia" in a universe where the is only "one person") you'll not be able to get "better" at "health"
Anyway. Mass Effect 3 has a nice good dialogue about these "Law of One" related concepts and how the harvest in their cycle came about.
Anyway. Have fun. And i'm sure its a great video that you linked but i take it as a point of discernment not to watch people talk to me about how i need to change to confirm to their theory about the workings of the planes of reality where we are.
I find my own confirmations. Sci-Fi seems like a good way
